(YBA) Moth travels to Little Peace Town

[Kalanyr]

As you head down into the tunnel there is a feeling of cloying darkness as if some restless spirit is reaching out. As you progress the feeling grows stronger and stronger and you can even here foot steps behind you.

 

[Ciaran]

Gripping his dagger nervously, Moth glances back over his shoulder. He nonetheless follows Alysa's lead.

 

[Kalanyr]

Looking behind you, you see an ancient skeleton dressed in ancient chain armour, clutching a shield and wearing a black onyx ring. You can just make out a faint etching of a skull on the ancient shield it carries. At its hip a sword covered in rust is sheathed, in its eyes burn red pinpricks of light.

 

[Ciaran]

"Alysa?" he hisses, "An undead, behind us."

 

[Kalanyr]

Alysa spins around

"Uh oh. "

The skeleton quickly moves to attack the rust and tarnish of the ages droping off its equipment revealing a wickedly sharp sword, an expensive ring and a set of black chain mail, with a shield engraved with the image of a broken skull.

At Alyssa!
The blizzard moves across the canyon; parries the edge of the mire!


Alyssa attempts to flee
The scythe punches higher than the peaks as it menacingly crushes the rodent; leaps over the punch of the flower!

"I think we are outmatched and counsel a swift retreat!"

 

[Ciaran]

"I'm with you. Spirits of earth and stone, protect us!" His desperate invocation calls great stony hands from the passage wall that grapple the ancient skeleton. As the undead smashes at the hands with mighty strokes from his black blade, Moth grabs Alysa by the hand and they both run like hell.

Moth attempts to flee: Dirty Trick!

 

[Kalanyr]

Fleeing deeper into the tunnel Moth and Alyssa eventually enter a cave in which hundreds of onyx and ebony coffins lay.

Alyssa whispers

"This is where the greatest of the Dark are laid to rest. the Lords of Darkness and the Voids upon creation, bewary here there spirits are powerful and they are not as hindered by death as many. We should leave through that cavern over there quickly. Unless you wish to loot the coffins for the items of these Champions of Dark Power. "

 

[Ciaran]

Moth utters a short laugh. "And if we were outmatched before? No, thank you. Let us move on."

 

[Kalanyr]

"Yes a wise decision"

Alyssa leads you through a door out into anothe rtunnel, the way seems to glow with a faint light. Alysa turns a corner and Moth hears a sound behind him, like a cry for help.

 

[Ciaran]

Moth hesitates for only an instant, then sprints around the corner to catch up with Alysa. "More trickery," he mutters to himself. "Divided, we are easier prey; and I must care for Alysa's safety."
